Summarizing Mini-Lesson

This PowerPoint summarizes the book, The Kid Who Ran For President, by Dan Gutman. First, a graphic organizer summarizes the who, what, when, where, and why of the story. Then, there's a paragraph summarizing it. Finally, there are four examples of 20 word summaries written by fourth graders. You could use this to model how to summarize with your class even if you haven't read this book.

With 25 years in public education, I understand the increasing demands placed on educators. My sessions include cutting-edge, research-driven ideas that require minimal prep and will stand the test of time. In the last 15 years, I’ve presented in over 35 states and two other countries. I’m currently a 2nd grade teacher in Nixa, MO, and I love my job!
